Summary "Under Boy Scout Colors" by Joseph Bushnell Ames is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Dale Tompkins, a young boy who aspires to become a Boy Scout while navigating the challenges of fitting in with his peers, particularly dealing with the animosity from Ranny Phelps, a leader in his troop. Throughout the narrative, themes of bravery, camaraderie, and personal growth are explored as Dale encounters various obstacles that test his resolve and character. The opening of the novel sets the stage for Dale's character by showing him delivering papers on a rainy day when he hears a child's scream and rushes to aid a boy who is incapacitated by a live electrical wire. This act of bravery establishes Dale as a empathetic and courageous individual, traits that are further developed in the subsequent chapters. Additionally, we see Dale's eagerness to join the Boy Scouts and the tension he faces, especially with Ranny Phelps, highlighting the social dynamics within the troop. As the story unfolds, Dale's journey of self-discovery and his quest for acceptance amidst adversity begin to take shape, pulling readers into the narrative with a mix of action, emotion, and the promise of adventure.
